Gday all,
So, last weekend I replaced the clutch booster in my hj61 with a reconditioned one due to a problem with the old ones diaphragm swelling in 40degree Celsius heat, causing the clutch to slip...
I drove the car every day last week and all was good!
Come yesterday morning and initially it wouldn't go into gear which I thought was odd. Trying to go into reverse and it would grind... I mandged to get it into first and went for a drive and it all of a sudden went back to being all good... over the course of the day I noticed that if I stopped the car (turned off the engine) for a while, the problem would return. I also noticed there was a grinding feeling coming through the clutch pedal as I release it (only sometimes). On the 60km trim home it was perfect - until I tried to reverse into the driveway, where it tried to crunch into reverse....
Any ideas if this could be a faulty booster, or is it an indication of something else???
Ps - newish master and slave, and didn't have to unbolt any hydraulic lines to put the new booster in.....
Thanks heaps
Drew
